19 of Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A revitalized Daniil Medvedev claimed his first title for nearly 30 months with victory over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
Medvedev, a ex- top-ranked player, has endured a torrid period, winning just a single victory at the big events and undergoing a meltdown at the American major.
Medvedev's varied form on the professional circuit - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him exiting of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer Gilles Cervara.
Now collaborating with Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, Medvedev has gradually advanced in the past month - climaxing in a tightly fought three-set victory over opponent Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship since the 2023 Rome Masters and initial on a hardcourt from spring of that year.
Victory also indicates he has secured twenty-one titles at 21 various competitions.
"It's the first time I'm at a competition with my two daughters at once, so to get a trophy is particularly special," said world number 14 Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in dedication of my younger daughter Victoria, because the maiden victory I got when my first daughter my daughter was delivered was for her."
The tennis star, the former major winner, had failed in his past six championship matches, featuring in Halle in the past months.
The player's counter-punching approach and frequent emotional displays on the playing surface had caused observers to question if his ability to play at the elite level was concluded.
However the player has made changes in the last few weeks, striving to advance forward and compete aggressively, reinforced by an enhanced serve.
Medvedev recovered from a disadvantage in the first set against the difficult Frenchman, winning 4 of the final five games to gain the advantage.
Both players traded breaks in the following set before the Frenchman, bidding for his maiden professional victory, took control to push for a final set.
He saved 4 early-game opportunities in a competitive third set before the Russian won the break to that score to serve for the match.
Appropriately, Medvedev secured the title with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman unable to control a shot after two hours and 38 minutes.
